Halloween "Morning Work"

Found this on Facebook tonight. I know, it's way too late for most of us for this year, but I'm going to save it for next year. I'm thinking it'd be great to project on the board as the kids are coming into class in their costumes. It'll give them something to do and discuss with each other.

Fall/Autumn {Game Boards}

Well, here's another set while I'm out for a week due to Hurricane Irma. We got power back Wednesday night & I've been feeding that itch to create that I had during the storm and the power-less days after. This is actually a set I've wanted to create for a while - given that it can be used for almost 3 months before a Christmas set is needed. But, I'll have a Halloween set ready soon. :) Can't forget about one of my favorite holidays!

Back to School {Game Boards}

Finally got a set of Back to School game boards created for my math centers. I love how easy it is to customize (dare I say, differentiate - I hate buzz words) based on season & skill that needs to be practiced. There are tons of ELA task cards on Teachers Pay Teachers and I've created a fair number of Math ones for 4th grade. If you have a specific need (math related), let me know!

Hurricanes & School Closings & Frightened Students....oh my....

Hurricanes {Activities for the Days Before Your School is Closed}

This is intended for teachers and students in the upcoming days before school is cancelled due to a hurricane while everyone is nervous. Prior to Hurricane Irma, I was constantly trying to reassure my students and encourage them to stay informed and be prepared instead of giving in to panic. I used several of these links to help my students understand what was happening (4th grade) and wished I had a list of resources ready to go when the hurricane was announced. So, here you go. Stored on TPT so when the next one hits the Hurricane State (aka Florida), I’m ready to go too!

Super Kids II Classroom Theme

Our school's theme this year is....Superheros! I love this and have had it as my classroom theme for my board for years. The original classroom theme I had posted on Teachers Pay Teachers has undergone some changes  - mainly taking out the polka-dot background and giving everything a slightly edgier background with loops. I love it.

Tic-Tac-Toe Game {FREE}

This tic-tac-toe game board is a great game to use no matter what subject you are teaching or concept you need to review. Students answer questions provided by the teacher. If correct, they may lay down a piece on the game board. Three in a row wins!

Best of all...this game can be played in a very short amount of time. Perfect for those kids that finish quickly, but don't have enough time to do another full game!

Dominoes (Multiplication, Fractions/Decimals/Percents, and Equivalent Fractions)

Another set of games I've been working on...dominoes! I hope to make many more sets in this series, since they worked so well in my classroom the last few weeks of school. I designed them to be played like Junior Dominoes so that there's no score keeping involved. Let's focus on the math skill...not trying to keep score. :)

The first two items listed have two levels of play to help with differentiated work in your classroom. The third set...well, it just didn't work to have two levels with the number of tiles needed.
